EU - a Turkey moot

EU members may have agreed a deal to allow Turkey to start talks next month - but the price will be recognition of all EU members, i.e. Cyprus. Turkey could fairly say this is a new and unprecidented precondition and point out that Cyprus did not join the EU as a united island (Greek Cypriois rejected the UN plan for re-unification). However, France especially, does not see ignoring Cyprus as 'in the spirit' of a prospective EU member more from the EU Observer...

I think it is Turkey that is asking for a "new and unprecidented precondition."
Everyone, not just in the EU, but on the planet, recognizes Cyprus. How are goods and peopel going to move around? How there not be Cypriot embassy in Ankara?

It just makes one wonder what Ankara thinks the EU is exactly?
